WASHINGTON (CNN) - Liz Cheney, the daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney and a former State Department official, said Tuesday that she isn't planning to run for public office anytime soon, but didn't rule out the possibility for the future.

Cheney, who has made headlines recently for an ambitious public campaign defending her father and attacking the Obama administration's national security strategy, said she is currently too busy at home to run for office.

"It's not something I'm focused on right now, I do have five little kids and I'm helping my dad to write his memoirs," Cheney said Tuesday in an interview on Fox News and posted on ThinkProgress.org.

"So I have a pretty full plate right now, but it's certainly something I could," she said before getting interrupted.

But Cheney's comments aren't the first time this possibility has come up. Former President Bush's top strategist Karl Rove was asked on Monday in an interview with Fox News if he thought that she should run for office. He responded, "she might."

Is there enough support for her in America for these ill conceived aspirations? I can't believe this.

She will have to visit her dad in jail on the tax payer's dime. We could only hope.

Very impressive woman. Articulate, thoughtful, well reasoned debater. The GOP would be well advised to help her if she pursues a political career. Remember, just a few years ago Obama was a back-bencher in the Illinois Senate needing permission from Emil Jones just to cast a vote and look how far he has come.

Well, she should rule it out. We've had enough of the Cheney's and the Bushies.

How nice, she's helping her Dad write his memoirs. What does that mean, making up stuff to explain things he doesn't want anyone to actually know anything about?

Nothing says vote for me like being famous for defending torture.

If she's out defending her father for his treasonist actions she'll make a terrific candidate for public office. It should make her easy to beat....
